EQUIPMENT
The new floor saw series from Wacker
Neuson includes the four models BFS
735, BFS 940, BFS 1345 and BFS 1350
with blade diameters from 350 to 500 millime-
ters. They offer even lower hand-armvibrations
(HAV) that are now below the exposure level
of 5 m/s² specified by the EU.
This value makes it possible to operate the
equipment for up to 8 hours per day. Lower
HAV values also make work easier for the
operator. The wheel base was also optimised:
a wide track with a short wheel center distance
offers optimal stability and good controllability.
All models are equipped with high quality
Honda gasoline engines. The newmodels also
benefit from a long service life thanks to the
lifetime-lubricated bearings. No re-lubrication
of the bearings is therefore necessary, main-
tenance jobs take place less frequently and
operating times are extended.
The gasoline-driven floor saws generally
have strong performance features: they have a
high cutting stability and yet are easy to guide.
The full-frame chassis is constructed from high
tensile strength steel. This has the advantage of
a high rigidity of the frame without increasing
the weight.
The floor saws run quietly and stur-
dily, even at maximum cutting speed. The
center of gravity is located precisely over the
cutting axle. The cutting force of the blade is
therefore maximised in combination with
an optimal coordination of the torque. The
performance of the floor saws from Wacker
Neuson is therefore 20% higher than with
comparable equipment.
LONGER OPERATING TIMES AND MORE COMFORT
The gasoline-driven floor saws fromWacker Neuson were revised and
now offer additional benefits for end users and contractors.
It was possible to reduce the hand-arm vibrations (HAV) even further,
which makes longer operating times and fatigue-free working
possible. In addition, the high quality equipment is characterised by
its performance and durability.

Through the infinitely adjustable cutting depth
from 120 to 195millimetres, the gasoline-driven
floor saws from Wacker Neuson achieve a
high quality and clean cut in various materials.
The double-face water sprinkling ensures a
long service life of the blade and therefore
saves costs.
The gasoline-driven floor saws are ergo-
nomic and comfortable to use. The handle
grip can be adjusted to the size of the operator
without using tools and therefore allows for
less fatigue-prone work. Long wet cut phases
are made possible by the water tank, which,
with 20 liters for the smallest model BFS 735 or
32 litres for all other models, is the largest
tank in this class of gasoline-driven floor saws.
At the same time, the models from Wacker
Neuson are among the lightest equipment in
its class, which additionally optimises handling
and transport.
